A 90-second video performance shown on the SCA-2 Art Satellite in low Earth orbit. The artist’s body appears curled in a foetal position against a black background, making almost imperceptible movements. The work explores retreat not as escape, but as a return to the self, where the body becomes a fragile signal between inner space, technology, and the cosmos.

A public art object created from recycled aluminium for a public art festival in Yekaterinburg. The work refers to the city’s industrial identity and imagines the “industrial baby” as a fragile new body born from metal, labour, memory, and the urban environment.
Elysium
Elysium
An artist’s book based on the accidental loss of the artist’s family photo archive in 2016. Combining text, images, and fragments of memory, the work reconstructs a personal history through absence, loss, and the fragile remains of family narratives.
Elysium
Elysium
A multimedia installation reflecting on food culture, consumer choice, and the imagined future of lab-grown meat. Drawing from personal memory, childhood experience, and research into “clean meat”, the work creates a speculative world where the boundary between care, consumption, technology, and violence becomes unstable.
Elysium
A large-scale photographic installation based on waste produced around the artist’s online life over the course of a year. The work transforms everyday remains connected to digital time into a 500-metre printed image sequence, creating a corridor between the virtual and physical worlds.
